Santa Maria birthday party

A group of students on this trip were responsible for planning a birthday party for some students at the all girls school located in Santa Maria.
We planned 5 different activities for the girls to participate in during the event. Each station had 2 WRCA students directing and interacting with their group of girls. We split the girls up by grade and had them rotate from station to station every 10 minutes. There was a bracelet making station, a jump rope station, musical chairs, colouring, and a potato sack race. After all the girls had a turn at each station we handed out the birthday presents and cards for all 25 birthday girls. Then we served them all some cake and tortilla snacks. While they were all eating the party planners gave them each a goodie bag. The girls were very grateful and absolutely ecstatic to be able to be a part of such a large celebration; many of the girls have never had the opportunity to participate in a birthday party like the one they were in today. They had us all lined up so every girl at the party could give us a hug before they left. They also gave us all a small gift at the end to say thank you. Meeting all of those girls was a wonderful experience and we are all very blessed to be given the opportunity to meet all of the students and staff at Santa Maria.
